Utility Vehicles?
- Thread starter Mic
- Start date
After much thought and the serious lack of info on the corsa, twinned with the utter bargain of a Caddy. Around March-April of this year I shall indeed purchase a caddy(if something of the same configuration doesnt pop up)
Im going to modernise it a little compared to some of the other modified ones out there (no wire wheels and mat black paint, even know mat black would look gangsta).
Stay tuned for word of me and my adventures in the coming months.

Mk1 CRX's are the way to go - they are very quick and very light.-Mic- said:
Have you SEEN the price of insurance for those yokes though - it's mental.
I've been looking into track days in Ireland - quite expensive, and they dont like to let young lads out onto the track after some maxedoutpower club or something had a major crash in mondello.
Mark
The insurance is indeed mental on the old ones. But the CRX i shall be driving daily is the mark 3 DelSol. 1.6VTEC.3200 euro roughly a year. And at 18, thats not god damn bad to be honest.commited said:
The other CRX however, for track days will be a completely gutted out one, off the road version. It wont ever be seeing road use. I hadnt heard anything about them leasing out the track for track days
. I thought Mondello did their own days about 5 or 6 times a year.And the requirments are just 18+,full license. Im going to do some of their driving days first though.,I know the track pretty well(did helping hand to the recovery truck since i was about 10)Maxedoutput club?Havent heard of em, but now that you mention it I did hear some cars racing mid week a couple times a few months back since i live bout 3 miles down the road. Must have been track days. Though i can understand why they dont like young fellas going out, some of them act complete retards.
Other than that, i should be fine (should be doing trackdays in england though aswell)
(what a very very long post:O

5.7 litres? Dear god..
Your both wrong. Its called a Holden SS ute.
U can get them in V8 or V6 i think. Im also pretty sure it has the same engine as the Holden Commodor.(dont quote me on the engine because i hate holdens
)Another Australian Ute. The Ford Falcon XR8 ute (theres an XR6 but thats a V6)

That's not bad at all actually - who's that with? Apparently AXA, Quinn Direct & hibernian are the ones to talk to. I assume you have a full license...-Mic- said:

We're thinking about heading up north to do a track day soon - it's a fair bit cheaper.
The name was a joke
My mate was told that a load of young fellas came out in tuned up starbos and the like and there was a big crash and general acting the fool. They dont let one-make days or young people out now (according to the bloke on the phone). Maybe he was just being grumpy commited said:That's not bad at all actually - who's that with?

Right now the quotes through tesco, brokers for hibernian, which is stupid cause hibernian wouldnt qoute me last month and this month they want 4100, pfft. Britton Insurance in Donegal seem very good, but you have to ring them about a quote on imports, which I will do whenever i get the car. Full license indeed, since i was 17 infact. 5 month wait after my birthday.
What tracks are up the north that do trackdays? I didnt even know there was tracks up there at all!
I actually did hear about that Starlet I think, wrecked the thing into the bank. Still, wasnt as stupid as the spectator who drove his civic off the embankment!
Firestar_3x: You win a cheese sandwhich.
Does that mean you have to do that ignition thing?
I cant remember the names of the tracks, but there are 2 I believe - both pretty decent though and good value. I want to head up there in the summer for a weekend...
Nicely done on the civic - I think I heard about that - retards.
